Why measure microcirculation? 

Our latest webinar series, Why measure microcirculation, dives into the critical role microcirculation plays in health and disease. This series highlights why assessing microcirculation is essential for improving patient care and outcomes. Featuring leading experts and real-world examples, these sessions provide valuable perspectives and practical approaches to harnessing microcirculation measurements in both clinical and research settings.

Session #5 — How to use laser speckle contrast imaging during oncoplastic breast surgery

In session #5, Dr. Damian J. Ralser MD, from the University Hospital of Bonn in Germany, will talk about how he uses laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) technology with PeriCam PSI during oncoplastic breast surgery. In surgery, LSCI can monitor blood perfusion in the patient in real time, without contact, and without the need for contrast agents, helping surgeons to determine flap viability and procedure success.

Session #3 — The vascular multi-metrics of wound healing in diabetic foot

In session three, Professor Martínez talks about the multi-metrics of wound healing and how treatment decisions should be made on the back of multiple types of noninvasive vascular measurements to provide a holistic view of the patient.

Session #4: How to incorporate microvascular measurement into the clinical pathway

In session four, Dr. Chris Manu (MD, FRCP) talks about how he and his team have adapted their ways of working to include microcirculation measurements, resulting in a significantly lower 6-month amputation rate than the national average, despite treating a patient cohort with more severe conditions.
